Why do I need French Duncan’s help?
New legislative changes were introduced in August 2016 which made proper compliance with Company Secretarial obligations even more important. We have summarised below a few of the more important changes that were introduced:
As you can see, failure to comply with the Company Secretarial responsibilities is treated very seriously and will lead to financial penalties, prosecution, disqualification of directors and the company being struck off the register. In the case of compulsory strike off, costs will be incurred to reinstate the company. It is therefore incredibly important that directors comply with their obligations.
What about future legislation?
There are even bigger changes on the horizon, with complex new legislation at Companies House coming into force in 2021, coupled with a shift in role for Companies House away from it’s traditional ‘agency’ role to a ‘governing body’ with increased legal powers.
Our team are fully up-to-speed with these future changes and can help ensure your business complies now and into the future.
